Question

A rectangle has a length of 1.5 and a width of 0.75 another rectangle has a length of 1.75 and a width of 0.5 what is the difference between the area of the rectangles

Answer 1

To find the area of each rectangle, we use the formula:

Area = length x width

For the first rectangle:
Area = 1.5 x 0.75 = 1.125

For the second rectangle:
Area = 1.75 x 0.5 = 0.875

Now, we find the difference between the areas:
1.125 - 0.875 = 0.25

Therefore, the difference between the areas of the rectangles is 0.25.
